SYNOPSIS:

No matter how hard she runs . . .

Gia Corey’s on a first-name-basis with danger. Nothing can protect her from the madman stalking her every move. Not her vital role in New York’s most powerful cartel, her money or her influence. She can’t run from the cops coming to arrest her for the deaths of six people. She can’t hide from the past that thrusts her into the path of a madman, sets her up for murder, and threatens those she loves.

Noah McLean’s carefree lifestyle as a playboy has come to a swift and violent end. Betrayal is the bullet that forces him to take his place in the family business. Gia’s his anchor, holding him together, helping him accept the role he’s been burdened with. He fell in lust with her beauty and helplessly in love with her heart, but when danger slithers close, he risks everything to keep her safe. But she only trusts two people and Noah isn’t one of them.

The past is never far behind . . .

The monster will stop at nothing to have Gia. He’ll wage a dangerous battle where murder, extortion, and terror are his instruments to tear her way from Noah and her friends. To win the war, Gia must do the unthinkable — embrace her own inner darkness.

Will she slay the monster, once and for all, or will her past break her in the end?

EXCERPT

She lied, just a smidgen, to Carissa. She did plan to go see Noah but she couldn't do it in her current state. She needed to get into the right mind set first. She needed to give herself a brain rinse and put what they'd just done in a circle outside her space. She needed a little distance so she could think. More than anything, she needed the peace and closeness to her grandmother that only this place could bring her.

Gia's haven was painted in vibrant colors; shades of orange, mustard, browns, and reds everywhere. She tilted her head up and inhaled the Moroccan Tajine blends, the fresh turmeric and hibiscus cus. Her grandmother's panacea, lemongrass, perfumed its healing softness into the air, welcoming her.

Camouflaged by the old, gray-brick facade, her favorite place was a gymnasium-sized room where all scents known to man communed together. Whatever you may have wanted, no matter how obscure, you could find at La Marketa. Even if it was a small shrub that only grew in the farthest corner of Antarctica or as Mel's mom used to say, “Where the devil shouted three times and no one heard him.”

Here, she forgot what she did for a living, remembered her roots, and indulged in her favorite past-time.

A Legacy Novel

She was once his liar.He was once her savior.

Cross Donati fills his days with the mafia, family, and responsibility. The wild boy is a distant memory. A waiting prince now sits in his place. An old debt puts the gunrunner right back into the path of his past, but he only sees his future.

Every God needs a prayer.

The scars of their history runs deep. Every lie told, and each secret spilled hurts a little bit more.

Love does not care. Love will not wait.

So, why does life keep standing in the way?

Revere is A Legacy Novel. While it can be read as a follow up to Always, it can also be read as a standalone novel.

EXCERPT:

“My mother would kill me,” Cross said.

“You think?”

“If I came home married, and she hadn’t even met the girl? Fucking right, she would pickle my goddamn nuts.”

Catherine giggled. “That’s awful.”

“No, that’s me being nice because it would probably be worse.”

“After everything you put your parents through as a teenager, that’s what would send them into a rage, huh? You getting married without a word?”

Cross considered that for a moment. “Not both, just my mother. Cal wouldn’t give a fuck, as long as I was happy. After the pickling bit, Ma would calm her ass down, too.”

“Well apparently Michel did a bad thing,” Catherine said, “because I overheard them talking later, and I guess they can’t go back to Detroit now.”

Cross’s hands teased up her dress and skimmed her bare thighs as he asked absently, “What do you mean, bad?”

Catherine shifted on his lap again, feeling talented fingers slide along the line of her panties. If they weren’t in such a dark corner of the club, she might have told him to knock it off, but they were alone at the table for now, and her back was turned.

No one could see.

“I mean, she’s from a family like ours are, and—”

Cross let the chair fall to the floor, and his hands left her skirt. “Shit, seriously?”

Catherine pouted. “I liked where your hands were, you know.”

“Calm down, you’re going back to my apartment tonight, anyway.”

“Yeah, but right now you were working on something and I’d like to get back to that, Cross.”

“In a second. So, she’s from a crime family, they eloped, and then took off?”

Catherine shrugged. “Yep.”

“That’s why it’s bad,” he told her, “and you think she’s Irish?”

“Yep, definitely is.”

Cross whistled low, and then his hands were back up under her skirt again as he tipped the chair onto two legs once more. “Michel’s got some fucking stones on him, I guess.”

Catherine grinned, sighing as his fingers skimmed under her panties, his thumb circling her clit while his others teased at her entrance. Slow and steady, sure and knowing. “Is it really that bad?”

“Yeah, it’s not great, Catty. You don’t marry a girl from another family without permission, which is probably why they took off back here. Michel’s got protection here, and nobody’s dumb enough to march onto Marcello territory and start making demands. That’s how people die.”

“Okay, let’s just move on from people dying while your hands are between my thighs.”

“You’re no fun.”

“Or maybe your type of fun is just wrong.”

Cross shook his head. “Never. My kind of fun is what gets you off, babe.”

Sometimes, you can’t keep saving your heart when it means sacrificing it, too.Sometimes, you have to learn to save yourself.Sometimes, love has to fall, crash, and burn.

This is what love is like when you’re a principe and principessa della mafia.This is what love is like when you’re Cross Donati and Catherine Marcello.
